Purpose of the Program

The TAE50216 Diploma of Training Design and Development program reflects the roles of training developers and instructional designers who are responsible for analysing training needs and designing training solutions and products to meet workplace capability requirements, as well as evaluating the effectiveness of training programs. They may have a role in providing guidance and advice to trainers and assessors in promoting innovative practices, e.g. e-learning, and in researching and incorporating best practice in training and assessment into training programs and products.

Articulation and pathways

The TAE10 training package does not mandate particular pathways for the qualifications provided in vocational education and training. Entry points and progression rely heavily on the background and experience and qualifications currently held by you. Choices in the individual qualification routes associated with language, literacy and numeracy, management or international education services will depend on your preferences and needs.

Entrance requirements

Applicants must have successfully completed the Certificate IV in Training and Assessment assessment, or another relevant qualification or have experience in the vocational education and training sector.

External accreditation and industry links

The qualification is recognised in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations as a teaching and assessment credential for trainers and assessors in the national Vocational Education and Training system.

At RMIT, the program is supported by a Program Advisory Committee which represents a broad cross section of the training industry. This committee advises on currency of the training and assessment within the program, and ensures that the program produces graduates who are ready to work in the field.
